This is great news as my TriRig stem arrived yesterday and my TriRig bars just arrived by FED EX. Now I just have to figure out what I am using for my BTA.

Honestly, I'd just slap a cage on the stem and see how you feel. It's been rock solid so far.

I've got a similar setup with a Profile Design HC. I took the PD mount apart and kept the cage only. I mounted the cage with the Sigma bottle mount and dropped the HC bottle in. It's pretty slick.

Totally, I actually have an HC bottle that I used before I picked up the Torpedo. Love this mount.

Get to work! Lets see it!

Well I have to wait for a fair number of other items first, then I need to modify the frame to do top tube cable entry and sort out my Sitero/Cervelo post issues and once that is done, I will post a few pictures.

I really wanted to strip the bike down to bare carbon and clear coat it but my son has said he likes the blue/grey color so I will leave it like that for now.

Blue/Gray, need top tube mod...so older P2?

YEP for a very good price. Since I was going to strip it anyways, I was thinking a good used one would be a good staring point.

Did you have any concern cutting your steerer tube that short? My sigma and alpha arrive today. I want to cut it to look as sleek as possible but I'm worried about frame resale in the future. It seems like cutting it that low makes it unusable with a standard stem. Would that be a true statement?

Yes, unless you have some spacers under it, then you could use a normal stem again, but not as many spacers.

You could just leave the stem cover off and use normal spacers for a time, until you are confident you want to keep it.

Just curious, what would a whole new fork for the "new" P3 go for, ballpark?

I haven't seen the pricing but around 300->400 usually.
If you don't have a real small frame size, you could sell your cut fork probably

If you have a tiny frame size cut that short, hard to sell!

It's a size 54. I'll probably chicken out and cut it with the absolute minimum spacers that would allow a standard stem to be used. I remember there was that sigma recall where this could have been convenient.
